This week's trio is a little conspiracy, a little cross-section and a little conference action -- and I think the 'c' button is now broken... :

GOLF: 3A conference meets, Lander and Lovell. The 3A teams have their conference meets in the fall; the 4As have them in the spring... which makes this weekend even more key for the 3A teams, not only for state placing but for all-conference honors, too.

CROSS COUNTRY: Michelle Ludwig Invitational, Saturday, Sheridan. The meet is a good cross-section of small and big schools from both sides of the Bighorns. With 11 in-state schools scheduled to go, it's the biggest in-state meet of the weekend, too.

VOLLEYBALL: Look out! The L Conspiracy is back! Tournaments this weekend are scheduled for Laramie, Lingle, Lusk AND Lyman. All four look fun. And all four kind of blend together into one sort of big L-type tournament on a weekend like this.

If you're in Casper on Thursday, don't forget about the first regular-season Kelly Walsh-Natrona County volleyball match, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at NCHS.
